Nora Gubisch MEZZO-SOPRANO
Alain Altinoglu PIANO
French mezzo-soprano Nora Gubish and her hus-band, pianist-conductor Alain Altinoglu, present a recital devoted to one of the majors fields in which Maurice Ravel developed a major and pioneering output: the mélodie
Nora Gubish has an extremely strong personal connection with Ravel, as her great-great-uncle Ricardo Viñes, a famous pianist, was one of Ravel・s closest friends. For example, Viñes premiered Gas-pard de la Nuit
The mélodies presented here, enhanced by the beautiful warm tone of Nora Gubish, were com-posed between 1903 and 1927. They display in exemplary fashion the different facets of the art of Ravelian song. The song texts reflect Ravel・s liter-ary culture, his interest in and respect for litera-ture, which had been as integral a part of his life as music ever since his adolescence
- Nov-2012 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'Gubisch, with a vocal timbre of mellifluous beauty and well-focused richness, responds with a striking malleable sprectrum of sensibility to the varied scenarios that Ravel encapsulates.'
